Summary: the true multimedia console
Review: I owned zodiac 2 for about 8 months now, and i can say with confidence that it is the best palm OS that i owened and i moved between a few. i can babble on and on about its features and capabilities and it is great speakers, screen, memory, analog pad for games. bluetooth connectivity. but that what not add much to what other people said or what you can find on the website. and nothing is better than trying it. get from www.tapwave.com and if you don't like it just return it within 30days. i know i did that and i decided to keep it.

Summary: Best PDA bar none!
Review: I'm a long time Palm (and Pocket PC) user and have never really been 100% happy with any device I've gotten. Some came close...my wonderful Sony Clie 710C was awesome in its day. I've enjoyed the Sony Clie line for its superb color screens and cutting-edge features. But they are expensive and more recently, seemed to be falling behind. I was darn tired of having to upgrade the RAM in order to have something useable so when I heard about the Tapwave Zodiac 2 which offered an unbelievable 128 Meg of RAM I was immediately interested. After checking the specs I determined to be one of the first to get one of these devices. Gaming is secondary to it being a good Palm device, but definitely a HUGE plus for me.

My first reaction when I got it was how awesome the screen was! It definitely rivaled any other Palm device out there, and people always comment on it when I show them. The huge amount of RAM is just a joy to have. You can even load MP3s on it, although certainly using a good size SD card works even better. Don't miss the double card slots! Another feature you won't find on any other Palm device.

Video playback is great using MMPlayer (ditch the crappy Kinoma it comes with) and MP3 music is quite excellent. Battery life is excellent compared to other Palm color devices, and landscape and portrait options make things like reading ebooks and viewing photos even better. Bluetooth works great, I have no trouble downloading email over my cellphone.

So, how is it as a gaming device? Compared to other Palm devices, this device blows them out of the water! The number of available games specifically for the Zodiac is still fairly small (although there are some excellent games out there now) but having access to the full library of Palm games means I have more games loaded on it then I ever will have time to play. The included game, Stunt Car Extreme, is excellent and shows great potential for this device.

Overall, as a gaming device alone, I probably would not recommend the Zodiac, simply because there are better, cheaper options out there. But if you need or want a PDA that does multimedia and gaming, you won't find a better choice, and at a very reasonable price.

Summary: Great device
Review: This is a great pda/gaming console...there aernt many games out now but you can expect good things :) (never winter nights,mtx:mototrax, tomb raider, and street hoops)
there are already great titles out ..like duke nukem..tony hawk 4 , doom2, and many more...
if you dont like the games or applications made specifically then you can pick up over 19,000 others that are compatible witht the palm os(so says tapwave)...Visit the website and look at the specs and stuff....
BUY THIS PRODUCT YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED..(also if you would like to actually try out a zodiac before you buy it then visit your local compusa to try one out...)
